Keep up with all the latest movies with Film for the BlackBerry PlayBook
This isn't a bad app. I just picked it up a few days ago. It's no IMDB, not even close, but it gets the job done. Hopefully IMDB releases and app soon though.
When the heck are we going to have a place to download or rent new releases on the playbook?? That's where we are wayy behind we need an itunes type market place for movies and tv series!
I agree with you on this bud. The closest thing I have come across is Amazon. It's not a native app but it does work great through the web browser.
I have tried using the new UltraViolet movies and while I can log in via the PB and even see what is available on my profile (movies I already own) when it comes to the streaming portion it acts like it is about to start then it I get a Java error.
although i cant complain too much with websites like PB lol just a pain in the ass
Yep this is why I am getting frustrated with blackberry.
Love it, simply one word: GREAT!
finally!!
I wonder if anybody appreciates the irony of a movie information app on a device that can't load movies (easily without handbrake conversions)??
I'm with you. I can view the latest clips online on my playbook or just use the apps I already have on my phone. To all that see the use for this app enjoy and I'm not knocking the app itself but the irony is quite humorous.
I'l give it a try
It's a little annoying that the smartphone version doesn't work in English or the UK. For those in the UK, I am using 'Flixter' which is linked to IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. It's pretty good and has all the same features as the app reviewed, but the interface could do with an update.
Free apps....WOOT
Ok, if I read the summary right, this is essentially an ad service for movies. And we are supposed to pay for this?
i just use Poynt!
poynt is the better choice

woodn't pay for this app...get real.
How the heck do u download it. They just play and don't download
I wouldn't pay for this type of app, it is so basic it doesn't offer anything crucial. Also, what is it with RIM and their apps? First off, they're expensive compared to the competition. Second, some of the lamest most basic ones make you pay for them such as this one. Third, where are the essential apps we need/want i.e. Skype, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, OoVoO, Google Talk and that's just so we can use the front facing cam. Blackberry Travel, Bible, World Clock, PageOnce, World Mate, Dictionary and Thesaurus, Groupon, BBM Music, ShareBuilder, WordPress, and for goodness sake can somebody make an app for each of the different book companies, like Amazon so that people can stop complaining about the book readers please and finally an app that saves/copies videos to the PB. I know it sounds like alot but that's because most of the most beloved apps haven't been ported to the PlayBook as well. One of the reasons I loved my Blackberry was that the best utility apps were free or had a free version and were cheap. Now it's neither!
why don't u build it?
Why pay for this, you can do the same things at moviefone.com?
